Adams Solist Xylophones start with a 3 octave desktop model with full size bars in light rosewood. Other models are either 3.5 octave or 4 octave, and are available in octave or quint tuning. The octave tuned instrument has a clear and brilliant sound and is mostly used in European countries. An octave tuned instrument has the first overtone 2 octaves above the fundamental. The quint tuned instrument has a quint tuned in between the fundamental and the double octave, this results in a clear the and brilliant sound. The Quint tuned instruments produces a short, penetrating attack that cuts though the largest orchestra and ensemble.

Light rosewood is a hard, good sounding wood for a very affordable price. Honduras rosewood has long been considered the perfect for the production of mallet instruments. A rich balanced sound is the result when Adams' skilled craftsmen produce bars from the selected Honduras rosewood. All xylophones are with Adams' patented height adjustable voyager frame. Rails and resonators fold in half for easy transportation.

The Adams patented voyager system offers great durability to a wide range of playing heights. This feature is perfect for educational situations requiring use by many different size players. This same ultra smooth height adjustment system can be found on their endurance field frame. This frame was designed for maximum strength and durability, allowing you to transport over grass, parking lots and in schools from room to room or anywhere you might venture to take it. Its extremely large, easy rolling wheels make it the best designed frame system on the market today. A full length accessory rail on the frame provides you a great place to clamp cymbals, tom toms, bells and all kind of small percussion instruments on your instrument for optimum performance.
